DlspenSauOn, Wnen an EplscOpal minister
is invited to Jewish Syuagogues, and a
Jewish Rabbi Is invited to lecture before
the straight backed CalvInists of the Long
Island Historical Association by as good
Presbyterian as the Rev DR.. Storrs, But
while the lines Of religious tolerance seems
widening in one direction, there are
still much evidence of religious bigotry,
which remind one of the dark ages.
Every year tile Sunday School children Of
Brooklyn have a May festival, at which all
the orthodox schools parade. For years
past, one half of Brooklyn has ignored the
Unitarian and Universaiist Sunday Schools
and refused to let them parade with the
other Sunday School children, and the con.
sequence has been, bitter feelings at each
recurring season. The liberal clergymen,
of which there are great many in every
denomination, have year after year con-
tended for the freedom of the parade from
all sectarian bias, but I'D to the present
time those having control of tho Sunday
School Union lave successfully barred
them out. Between forty and fifty thous-
and children parade, and that such a joy
Gus occasion should be marred by such
narrow-minded and criminal bigotry, is a
disgrace to our civilization.
The Spting Exhibition Of pictures at the
Academy of Design, is fully up to the
standard efformer years. The noticeable
feature Of the exhibition is the large num-
ber of candidates for the hantles Of Troyon
and Millais. Now while an original Troyon
may be a work of exceeding merit, and
from financial stand point, a pearl OF
great price, bad imitation is like an in
paintpots, and is anything but f6yeIJe'or
commendable. Many of Millais' and
Troyon's pictures look as If they were left
unfinished, as though the artist had just
laid out his work and then left it, but it Ii
the rage; person dropping such a hint In
any art gallery, would be Immediately ar
rested by the police as horeess lunatic
SO If you want to pass for anybody, jusI
stop opposite Mllais or Troyon, throw
up the whites of your eyes, and say Be
youtee-ful, and when you come to the can
vas of an American artist, look over you
shoulder at it, and pass on. by attention
to these and few other minor iules, yoI
can pass in any of our New York galleries
for person who has great deal of know
ledge OH tho outside of his head. But t
recur: the two artists named and few
others have had demoralizing effect upoi
American art. Notwithstanding this how
ever, the collection is a good one, slightl
discounted, after New York has seen tn
Seney, the Morgan and the Stewart collec
tions. Speaking of George l. Seney, il i
: only year ago since his magnificent col
lection of pictures were sold under tn
hammer to pay his debts. The amour
raised 1 think, was over 100000; sine
; then Mr.. Seney's luck has turned; he
now back in his old house again and ha
purchased another collection of picture
worth several hundred thousand dollar
and they are now on exhibition in Brook
lyn in aid of one of it's charitable institu
tions.
We have just made another spasmodi
attempt to enforce the Sunday law. o
i Saturday night the saloon keepers wer
g notified that there would be no foollng tn
time; but that they must positively shut Il

It presume there are numbers of sma
